this announcement, for under the man

4 sunday Visitor.

Early on Sunday morning last, MIR.
Martin Griffin, Jr.. discovered a large
rattlesnake just in rear of the hardware
store of Griffin x Parker. Procuring a
hoe from the store he made short work
of his snakeship, which proved To he a
very fine specimen He measured a
little more than five feet in length, and
had six rattles and n button. IL is sup
po-ed that the snake feeling piously in
clined, SWAN across the river, in order
to attend church, but on landing in the
business part of town got confused and
lost its way. Its movements showed
that it was bewildered and that it did
not know what direction to take. and So
it fell an easy victim To its shaver.

The People OF Eau Claire Expect
Their Team TO Take the Penn

nant.
Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE. April 1O.-The members OF
the Eau Claire Northwestern league base
ball team are to report at this city the 18th
inst. Two Of them, Power and Lowe,
pitcher and catcher. have arrived from
PENNSYLVANIA. When the boys have all
arrived they will spend a week 0r ten days
in practice at the skating rink and on the
grounds. The Eau Claire nine will be In
tirst-claSS condition at the opening of the
season, and will go for first place and expect
to get it. The view taken by prominent
member of the Eau Claire Base Ball aSso--
citation of the probable status of the several
cities of the league along towards the close
of the season is that first place will be be-
tween Eau Claire and Milwaukee,; second,
between st. Paul and Minneapolis; third,
between Oshkosh and Des Moines and last
place between Duluth and La Crosse. The
Eau Claire Base Ball association is about to
make substantial improvements on its
grounds, in anticipation of the increased
public Interest in base ball here, which may
naturally be expected. A semi-circuar
grand stand will be built with commodious
appointments and cushioned seats, with
especial reference to the comfort of the
ladies. The seating capacity will be about
1,5O0. The grounds generally will he put
i'll first-class shape. E. A. Ballard, the
genial gentleman who performed that d uty
here last year, will again be the official
scorer this season

THE CHAMPIONS WEAK.
The Chicago Lovers of Base Ball
Discouraged over Their Team.

Discouraged over Their Team.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 10.-There is much dis
satisfaction in this city over the double de-
feat of the Chicago base ball club by the
st. Louis Browns, and it is generally con-
coded that when President Spalding sold
the release of Kelly to the Bostons he
greatly weakened the club. The absence
of Gore, Mccormick and Dalrymple is pain
fully perceptibie to former admirers of the
champions. and that the Chicagos will not
win the pennant this year is admitted by
almost every one. Clarkson and Pyle, the
pitchers, are not appearing to good adj
vantage. They seem to be greatly h amp
cred under the new rules. They have had
sufficient practice during the past six weeks
to secure control of the ball, but their work
is looked upon as little better than that of
many amateurs. The solid outted OF last
year is missing, as is also the remarkable
sluggers, and that Mr.. Spalding is not at
all pleased with the work of the team is
known in ball circles. Letters from the Hot
Springs some weeks ago made it appear
that the new club would be sure winners, -
butthe drubbing they received from Won Der
Ahe's accomplished men shows such con-
lectures have proven to be vain. Better
batterS and better outfield are needed to
insure success. Comparisons are odious, and
are made more so by asserting that the
present team is stronger than the champions

now. Black Frank. the Black Star, the

Still on the ground, but their fighting is
mainly with the mouth. At this kind Of
lighting G. A. c. Smith, of Saginaw, Mich,
should be awarded the belt Smith was in
st. Paul for a considerable period some
time since. and talked until everybody was
tired of hearing him or of him. He was lost
sight of for while, but he hobs up sereneIy
again over in Michigan, and is vigorously
debating letters to his hacker for the perusal
of other colored pugiists. Smith claims to
be the colored champion of America. and
says he is willing to fight anybody that is
eligible for $500 side. He doesn't mean
1t. however. The only way to get Smith
into ring would be to carry him in, and it
would be necessary to tie IN to something
pretty substantial to keep him there. Billy
Wilson is still the champion pugilist of his
color. and it will be necessary for some
sable gentleman to put him to sleep to get
his title.
